Overview

This Gigabit PoE+ extender spans your Power over Ethernet (PoE) device over longer distances, letting you double the 100m limitations of a traditional PoE infrastructure.

Now you can connect your Gigabit PoE device up to a maximum of 200m away, so it’s easy to install a remote IP camera or access point. Plus the extender can be daisy-chained for more scalability.

Unrestricted PoE+ range and convenience

Need more distance? This convenient PoE+ repeater maximizes range and flexibility by extending your PoE connection by an extra 100m (330ft), while providing 24-watt power output to compatible devices.

Simply connect the extender to your power sourcing equipment (PSE) and your PoE-powered device (PD) and you’re all set. The extender is compliant with the 802.3at/af standard, so it will work with existing PSE, such as a StarTech.com PoE+ injector (POEINJ1G) or PoE+ switch (IES81000POE).

Daisy chain for longer distance and flexibility

You can easily connect four extenders together, letting you install your PoE+ PD up to 500m (1640ft) away. It’s perfect for business, education, and retail environments (output wattage is dependent on the number of daisy-chained extenders used).

Convenient installation options and durable construction

Get up and running quickly. This Gigabit PoE+ extender can be positioned right where you need it, with a wall-mountable design that requires no external power adapter.

You can enjoy reliable performance with little worry of downtime or failure, the extender features a rugged metal housing with built-in ESD and surge protection.

The POEEXT1GAT is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Applications

Ideal for Wi-Fi® access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, and kiosks where a power connection is not available

Total extension distances can often be shorter due to power delivery voltage-drop on the connected cables. Maximum distances can vary based on the quality of the UTP cables and the environment.

You may daisy chain up to 4 POEEXT1GAT units total, for a maximum of 500m. The 4th unit will supply IEEE 802.3af up to 12W output.

Troubleshooting

It is highly recommended that solid Ethernet cables are used with this product to make sure that the signal is as strong as it can be. This type of cable is great at preventing loss of signal strength, as long as great flexibility in the cable is not required. Stranded Ethernet cables are the most commonly used type of Ethernet cable, but this type of cable can result in a gradual loss of signal strength the longer the cable is.

Solid Ethernet cables are preferred if the cables are used behind walls from patch panels to wall jacks. Stranded Ethernet cables are preferable when you need shorter and more flexible cables. Good examples of this are when you need an Ethernet cable on the server side of the patch panel, or at workstations.
